Read the text and complete the table below. The energy we use to power everything from our homes to schools and workplaces comes from a variety of different sources. These can be divided into two groups: non-renewable and renewable energy sources. Non-renewable energy sources are resources with a finite supply; they are limited, they will run out and they have a negative impact on the environment. Most sources of non-renewable energy are fossil fuels (obtained from dead plant and animal deposits created over the long history of the planet), such as coal, gas and oil. Renewable energy sources are natural resources that can be replenished. They are abundant, environmentally friendly and they won’t run out. They include wind, wave, tidal, solar, and geothermal. Some forms of fuels created from biomass (plants and animals) also fall under this category. Deposits of certain radioactive elements in Earth’s crust can be classified as 8nuclear energy resources. These resources are used as fuel for nuclear fission in power plants. The amount of these radioactive elements is limited on our planet and cannot be replenished. Over the years, there has been some research on fusion power but it is still not proven to be a feasible energy resource. Types of energy sources RENOVABLE NON-REMOVABLE Definition are natural resources that can be replenished. are resources with a finite supply. Features in the nature there are an abundant and they are friendly they are limited and have a negative impact with the nature Examples type of renovable sources are wind, wave, tidal and solar type of this are fossil fuels such as coal gas and oil
